4 Ways to add Shine to your cards

By on October 23, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I have a quick card share today using products from the Hedgehog Hollow October Kit. When you create a simple card, there are some easy ways to add an extra “WOW” and I’m sharing 4 ways today!

4 Ways to add WOW

  1. Specialty Paper – for this card I chose some navy PEARLIZED paper, it has a pearly shine and really gives a magical feeling to the card. If you are a Hedgehog Hollow subscriber, you might recognize this paper from last month’s kit.
  2. Glitter Embossing Powder – when you stamp with clear ink, you can add any embossing powder. For this card, I used an iridescent glittery embossing powder that furthers the WOW factor.
  3. Vellum Elements – Vellum is a subtle yet powerful way to add some elements for a great look. Here I die cut some snowflakes out of vellum. Make sure to adhere the vellum so your adhesive can be hidden! (Watch my video for more on this).
  4. Gemstones – gemstones are another way to add shine to your card. Here I used iridescent gems to the center of the vellum snowflakes. Not only does this add more shine, but it also hides the adhesive on the vellum!

For all the details, watch the short video below or in HD on YouTube:

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Does Perfect Blend Paper blend perfectly?

By on October 15, 2020 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m over at the Hedgehog Hollow blog sharing a post about Perfect Blend paper. This paper came in the October Hedgehog Hollow Kit and it has some really nice qualities!

But I did have a BIG MISTAKE and I’m here to share it with you (so maybe it doesn’t happen to you!) I also share how I fixed it and turned it into a card after all.

Watch the video below to learn about blending on Perfect blend paper, and how I saved this card!

It sure is fun to try out new products, but sometimes there’s a bit of a learning curve. That’s why I’m sharing this with you today!

Christmas Gift Cards

By on October 14, 2020 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have three cards that look just like presents! I’ve combined a few of the new sets from Maker Forte to create this great look.

I just love the embossed ribbon AND the inked ribbon on these cards! Today, I have a video showing you how to create all three of these cards fast, as well as some tips for Copic coloring and adding detail to put these cards over the top!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

For the colored cardstock, I chose some of my NEW FAVORITE holiday red & green cardstock. Then I heat embossed the ribbon. For the white cardstock, I used a dark red ink.

The “bows” for these presents are the new Christmas Roses and they are gorgeous!

I really hope you have as much fun as I did creating these cards. Be sure to check out all the new goodies at Maker Forte!

Queen’s Castle becomes the Haunted Mansion!

By on October 10, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun Halloween card using the Queen’s Castle from Miss Ink Stamps. This is a beautiful castle, but when you color it up just a little differently, it becomes a Haunted Mansion!

I paired it with the Boo Crew stamp set Trick-or-Treaters. How cute are they!? I love that the rabbit, mouse, and raccoon are all dressed as ghosts!

I’ve been waiting for the perfect card to blend these ink colors together for a background. This is the perfect card for these colors!

I have a video showing you how to re-create this card, watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I added that moon behind the castle using a simple circle die. Easy masking makes it all possible! (for all the details, see the above video!)

Thanks for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon with more card ideas.
